Cherry Mobile SkyFire

The Cherry Mobile SkyFire is now available at Cherry Mobile stores. The SkyFire is a 4.7-inch Android phone with Android 4.0.4 on board.

I am having a hard time figuring out where this one sits in the Cherry Mobile line-up. After all you already have the 4-inch Flare at Php3,999, the 4.5-inch Flame at Php6,299, and last, the 5-inch Titan at Php6,499. The SkyFire comes in at Php5,999 which is rather close to the Flame and the Titan, and is in between the two in screen size. Notably, the similarly sized and priced Flame has a higher resolution qHD (540 x 960) display,

The specifications of the Flame are almost identical to the Titan except in terms of screen size and battery capacity:

I really cannot write reviews. All I can do is provide overviews. A 1500 mAh battery with a 4.7-inch display will not have great battery life though.

Basically, with my phone, 30 minutes of on screen time (depending on brightness) can eat almost 10% of the battery life. 10% is good enough for 4 hours on standby with 3G and data sync on. So how long a battery last depends on how much on screen time a phone is use for.

sorry i never used cherry mobile and actually im interested in purchasing one. im still not decided what cherry mobile android phone to get. may i ask if viber is also available in all cherry mobile android phones. coz i ask a cherry mobile sales rep.and i was told that only W900 has viber how true is this? coz viber is one apps im looking in a phone. thank you!

i bought my skyfire while in Manila, I live in New Zealand and nobody has one of this mobiles... i love it! the battery is a pain... i rooted mine and deleted a few apps that comes with it.. do you know of any other batteries that would fit the skyfire? I heard that the LG Optimus HD fits it... thanks
